As shown in FIG. 3, a curved corner on an upper right side of the second conductive structure 214 may be a third curved corner 2360, a curved corner on an upper left side of the second conductive structure 214 may be a third curved corner 2362, wherein the third curved corner 2360 is adjacent to the first curved corner 2420 and the third curved corner 2362 is adjacent to the first curved corner 2422. A curved corner on a lower right side of the second conductive structure 214 may be a fourth curved corner 2361, a curved corner on a lower left side of the second conductive structure 214 may be a fourth curved corner 2363, wherein the fourth curved corner 2361 is adjacent to the second curved corner 2421, and the fourth curved corner 2363 is adjacent to the second curved corner 2423.

During a manufacturing process, static charges may be generated and/or accumulated on the first pad 208 and/or the second pad 210, the static charges tend to accumulate in an area of the first pad 208 and/or the second pad 210 that is close to or adjacent to an edge. Therefore, designing the first pad 208 (for example, the first conductive structure 212 and/or the second conductive structure 214) or the second pad 210 to have curved corners may reduce an occurrence of electrostatic discharges (ESD), thereby reduce damages to adjacent elements or increase yield.

In some embodiments shown in FIG. 3, the upper most conductive structure of the first pad 208 (such as the second conductive structure 214) may include a first side E11, a second side E12, a first side E13 and a second side E14, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, an extension direction of the first side E11 and an extension direction of the first side E13 may be substantially parallel. In some embodiments, an extension direction of the second side E12 and/or an extension direction of the second side E14 may be substantially parallel. In some embodiments, the extension direction of the first side (the first side E11 and/or the first side E13) and the extension direction of the second side (the second side E12 and/or the second side E14) are different from or substantially perpendicular to each other.

In some embodiments shown in FIG. 3, the third curved corner 2360 may be connected to the first side E11 and the second side E12; the third curved corner 2362 may be connected to the first side E13 and the second side E12, the fourth curved corner 2361 may be connected to the first side E11 and the second side E14, the fourth curved corner 2363 may be connected to the first side E13 and the second side E14.

The aforementioned extension lines of the first side or the second side refer to a line extended from a relative straight-line portion of the side. In some embodiments shown in FIG. 3, the extension line EL11 may respectively intersect the extension line EL12 and the extension line EL14, and the extension line EL13 may respectively intersect the extension line EL12 and the extension line EL14. As shown in FIG. 5 (that is, an enlarged area R3 of FIG. 3), the third curved corner 2360 may be defined by a curved edge formed between the first side E11 and the second side E12 that is not overlapped with the extension line EL11 and the extension line EL12. As shown in FIG. 6 (that is, an enlarged area R4 of FIG. 3), the fourth curved corner 2363 may be defined as a curved edge formed between the first side E13 and the second side E14 that is not overlapped with the extension line EL13 and the extension line EL14. Furthermore, the third curved corner 2362 and the fourth curved corner 2361 can be defined in a similar manner as described above; for the sake of clarity, their definitions will not be repeated.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the second pad 210 may include a third side E21, a fourth side E22, a third side E23 and a fourth side E24, but not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, an extension direction of the third side E21 and an extension direction of the third side E23 are substantially parallel. In some embodiments, an extension direction of the fourth side E22 and/or an extension direction of the fourth side E24 are substantially parallel. In some embodiments, the extension direction of the third side (the third side E21 and/or the third side E23) and the extension direction of the fourth side (the fourth side E22 and/or the fourth side E24) are different from or substantially perpendicular to each other. In some embodiments, the extension direction of the first side (the first side E11 and/or the first side E13) and the extension direction of the third side (the third side E21 and/or the third side E23) are substantially the same. In some embodiments, the extension direction of the second side (the second side E12 and/or the second side E14) and the extension direction of the fourth side (the fourth side E22 and/or the fourth side E24) are substantially the same.

In some embodiments, the first curved corner 2420 may be connected to the third side E21 and the fourth side E22; the first curved corner 2422 may be connected to the third side E23 and the fourth side E22; the second curved corner 2421 may be connected to the third side E21 and the fourth side E24, the second curved corner 2423 may be connected to the third side E23 and the fourth side E24.

In some embodiments shown in FIG. 3, the third side E21 may have an extension line EL21, the fourth side E22 may have an extension line EL22, the third side E23 may have an extension line EL23, and the fourth side E24 may have an extension line EL24. The aforementioned extension lines of the third side or the fourth side refer to a line extended from a relative straight-line portion of the side.

In some embodiments, the extension line EL21 may respectively intersect with the extension line EL22 and the extension line EL24; the extension line EL23 may respectively intersect with the extension line EL22 and the extension line EL24. As shown in FIG. 5, the first curved corner 2420 may be defined as a curved edge formed between the third side E21 and the fourth side E22 that is not overlapped with the extension line EL21 and the extension line EL22. As shown in FIG. 6, the second curved corner 2423 may be defined as a curved edge formed between the third side E23 and the fourth side E24 that is not overlapped with the extension line EL23 and the extension line EL24. Furthermore, the first curved corner 2422 and the second curved corner 2421 of FIG. 3 can be defined in a similar manner as described above; for the sake of clarity, the definitions will not be repeated.

In some embodiments shown in FIG. 3, the first curved corner of second pad 210 and the adjacent third curved corner of the first pad 208 has a first distance therebetween; the second curved corner of the second pad 210 and the adjacent fourth curved corner of the first pad 208 has a second distance therebetween. The first distance (or the second distance) is measured in a manner exemplified below. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the first curved corner 2420 of the second pad 210 is adjacent to the third curved corner 2360 of the first pad 208. The extension line EL11 of the first side E11 and the extension line EL12 of the second side E12 may intersect at an intersection point C1, and the extension line EL21 of the third side E21 and the extension line EL22 of the fourth side E22 may intersect at an intersection point C2. An extension line CEL1 may be taken that passes the intersection point C1 and the intersection point C2, wherein the extension line CEL1 may intersect the first curved corner 2420 and the third curved corner 2360 at two points (point PP1 and point PP2) respectively. A distance between the two points (point PP1 and point PP2) is defined as a first distance D1.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the second curved corner 2423 of the second pad 210 is adjacent to the fourth curved corner 2363 of the first pad 208. The extension line EL14 of the second side E14 and the extension line EL13 of the first side E13 may intersect at an intersection point C3, and the extension line EL24 of the fourth side E24 and the extension line EL23 of the third side E23 may intersect at an intersection point C4. An extension line CEL2 may be taken that passes the intersection point C3 and the intersection point C4, wherein the extension line CEL2 may intersect the first curved corner 2423 and the third curved corner 2363 at two points (point PP3 and point PP4) respectively. A distance between the two points (point PP3 and point PP4) is defined as a second distance D4.

Similarly, the first curved corner 2422 and the third curved corner 2362 of FIG. 3 has a first distance D2 therebetween; the second curved corner 2421 and the fourth curved corner 2361 has a second distance D3 therebetween. The first distance D2 and the second distance D3 can be defined in a similar manner as the aforementioned first distance; for the sake of clarity, the definitions will not be repeated.

In some embodiments, a direction of a curve of the aforementioned two adjacent curved corners may be the same or different. As shown in FIG. 3, the concave of the first curved corner 2420 and the concave of the adjacent third curved corner 2360 may face a lower left direction.

In some embodiments, the first distance D1 (and/or the first distance D2) between the first curved corner 2420 and the third curved corner 2360 may not be equal to the second distance D4 (and/or the second distance D3) between the second curved corner 2421 and the fourth curved corner 2361. In some embodiments, the first distance D1 (and/or the first distance D2) may be greater than the second distance D4 (and/or the second distance D3). An area of the first pad 208 that is far away from the conductive line 234 may be more likely to accumulate static charges; therefore, designing the first distance (D1 or D2) to be greater than the second distance (D3 or D4) may reduce the interference of static charges between the second pad 210 and the first pad 208.

In some embodiments, the first distance D1 may or may not be equal to the first distance D2. In some embodiments, the second distance D3 may or may not be equal to the second distance D4. In some embodiments, the first distance D1, the first distance D2, the second distance D3 and/or the second distance D4 may not be equal to one another.

In some embodiments, the first distance D1, the first distance D2, the second distance D3 and/or the second distance D4 may be greater than 0 μm and less than or equal to 10 μm, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the first distance D1, the first distance D2, the second distance D3 and/or the second distance D4 may be greater than 0 μm and less than or equal to 8 μm.

Please refer to FIG. 4, which is another partial top view of the electronic device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device of FIG. 4 is essentially identical to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3; FIG. 4 is used to more clearly illustrate additional features of the embodiment. Therefore, repeated features and elements will not be described. As shown in FIG. 4, a region defined by the extension line EL11 of the first side E11, the extension line EL12 of the second side E12 and the third curved corner 2360 of the first pad 208 (such as the second conductive structure 214) has a first area A11 (as shown in FIG. 5); a region defined by the extension line EL12 of the second side E12, the extension line EL13 of the first side E13 and the third curved corner 2362 has a first area A12 (enlarged schematic not shown); a region defined by the extension line EL11 of the first side E11, the extension line EL14 of the second side E14 and the fourth curved corner 2361 has a third area A13 (enlarged schematic not shown); a region defined by the extension line EL13 of the first side E13, the extension line EL14 of the second side E14 and the fourth curved corner 2363 has a third area A14 (as shown in FIG. 6).

In some embodiments, the first area (the first area A11 and/or the first area A12) may be equal to the third area (the third area A13 and/or the third area A14), or the first area (the first area A11 and/or the first area A12) may not be equal to the third area (the third area A13 and/or the third area A14).

On the other hand, in the second pad 210 of FIG. 4, the second pad 210 comprises a third side E21 and a fourth side E22, the first curved corner 2420 is connected to the third side E21 and the fourth side E22, a region defined by the extension line EL21 of the third side E21, the extension line EL22 of the fourth side E22 and the first curved corner 2420 has a second area A21 (as shown in FIG. 5); a region defined by the extension line EL22 of the fourth side E22, the extension line EL23 of the third side E23 and the first curved corner 2422 has a second area A22 (enlarged schematic not shown); a region defined by the extension line EL21 of the third side E21, the extension line EL24 of the fourth side E24 and the second curved corner 2421 has a fourth area A23 (enlarged schematic not shown); a region defined by the extension line EL23 of the third side E23, the extension line EL24 of the fourth side E24 and the second curved corner 2423 has a fourth area A24 (as shown in FIG. 6). In some embodiments, the second area (the second area A21 and/or the second area A22) may be equal to the fourth area (the fourth area A23 and/or the fourth area A24), or the second area (the second area A21 and/or the second area A22) may not be equal to the fourth area (the fourth area A23 and/or the fourth area A24).

In some embodiments, the first area A11 may not be equal to the second area A21. In some embodiments, the first area A12 may not be equal to the second area A22. In some embodiments, the third area A13 may not be equal to the fourth area A23. In some embodiments, the third area A14 may not be equal to the fourth area A24. In some embodiments, the first area A11 may be greater than the second area A21. In some embodiments, the first area A12 may be greater than the second area A22. In some embodiments, the third area A13 may be greater than the fourth area A23. In some embodiments, the third area A14 may be greater than the fourth area A24.

As described above, designing the first area to be greater than the second area, or designing the third area to be greater than the fourth area can be equivalent to designing a curvature of the curved corner of the first pad 208 to be greater than a curvature of the curved corner of the second pad 210. In this manner, static charge accumulation on the first pad 208 during production or manufacturing processes may be reduced; damages to adjacent elements (such as the second pad 210, the integrated circuit chip or other electronic elements/components) caused by static discharge may be mitigated.

In some embodiments, an arc length of the third curved corner may be greater than an arc length of the first curved corner, or an arc length of the fourth curved corner may be greater than an arc length of the second curved corner. For example, in some embodiments, an arc length of a projection of the third curved corner of the upper most conductive structure of the first pad 208 (such as the second conductive structure 214) onto the substrate 100 may be greater than an arc length of a projection of the first curved corner of the second pad 210 onto the substrate 100. In some embodiments, an arc length of a projection of the fourth curved corner of the upper most conductive structure of the first pad 208 (such as the second conductive structure 214) onto the substrate 100 may be greater than an arc length of a projection of the second curved corner of the second pad 210 onto the substrate 100.

In some embodiments shown in FIG. 3, the first pad 208 includes the first conductive structure 212 and the second conductive structure 214, a length of a side or a width of the first pad (and the second pad) may be illustrated by FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 3, a length of a side of the first pad 208 may be a length of the first side E11 (or the first side E13) in a Y direction, wherein the Y direction may be defined by a direction perpendicular to an extension direction of the integrated circuit chip. As shown in FIG. 3, a length of a side of the second pad 210 may be a length of the third side E21 (or the third side E23) in the Y direction. An extension direction of the integrated circuit chip 112 or the integrated circuit chip 114 shown in FIG. 1 may be substantially parallel to an X direction, and the Y direction is perpendicular to the normal direction V of the substrate 100. In other words, the length of the side of the first pad 208 is measured as the length of one of the sides of the first pad 208 that is substantially parallel to the Y direction (such as the first side E11 or the third side E13), and the side is connected to the aforementioned curved corner (the third curved corner and/or the fourth curved corner). The length of the side of the second pad 210 is measured as the length of one of the sides of the second pad 210 that is substantially parallel to the Y direction (such as the third side E21 or the third side E23), and the side is connected to the aforementioned curved corner (the first curved corner and/or the second curved corner). It is worth noting that, the comparison between the length of the side of the first pad 208 and the length of the side of the second pad 210 needs to be performed on the same direction (such as the Y direction). As shown in FIG. 3, the first pad 208 has a length of L5; the second pad 210 has a length of L6.

It is worth noting that, the first pad 208 (or the first pad 210) has a plurality of conductive structures, the length of the side of the first pad 208 (or the first pad 210) is a length of an edge of the outline of the entire first pad 208 (or the first pad 210) projected onto the substrate 100 in the Y direction.

Additionally, as shown in FIG. 3, the width of the first pad 208 may be defined by the largest width of the first pad 208 in the X direction, and the width of the second pad 210 may be defined by the largest width of the second pad 210 in the X direction. In some embodiments, the X direction may be substantially perpendicular to the Y direction and the normal direction V of the substrate 100. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the first pad 208 has a width W5; the second pad 210 has a width W6. It should be noted that, when the first pad 208 (or the first pad 210) has a plurality of conductive structures, the width of the first pad 208 (or the first pad 210) is a largest width of an outline of the entire first pad 208 (or the first pad 210) projected onto the substrate 100 in the X direction.

Subsequent paragraphs will continue to detail other embodiments of the present disclosure. For simplicity, identical elements will be denoted by the same reference signs. To illustrate the differences between various embodiments, the following paragraphs will describe in more detail the differences between various embodiments while omitting descriptions regarding previously discussed features.

Please refer to FIGS. 7, 9 and 10. FIG. 7 is a partial top view of the electronic device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 9 is an enlarged schematic diagram of an area R5 of FIG. 7. FIG. 10 is an enlarged schematic diagram of an area R6 of FIG. 7. Unlike the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the first pad 208 of some embodiments shown in FIG. 7 may include a layer of conductive structure.

The first pad 208 and the conductive line 234 may include the same conductive structure, and the first pad 208 may be connected to the conductive line 234, but not limited thereto. Furthermore, an opening 322 may expose a portion of the first pad 208; that is, the opening 322 may overlap with a portion of the first pad 208 in the normal direction V of the substrate 100, but not limited thereto. The second pad 210 may contact the first pad 208 through the opening 322, or the second pad 210 may be electrically connected to the first pad 208 through the opening 322.

As shown in FIG. 7, the first pad 208 may include a first side E31, a second side E32 and a first side E33. The first side E31 may have an extension line EL31, the second side E32 may have an extension line EL32, and the first side E33 may have an extension line EL33. In some embodiments, the first side E31 and the first side E33 may be substantially parallel, but not limited thereto.

Furthermore, the first pad 208 and the conductive line 234 may have two connection points (connection point P1 and connection point P2) therebetween. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the conductive line 234 is connected to the first pad 208, and the conductive line 234 has a first side 2341 and a second side 2343.

Additionally, the first pad 208 has a curved edge 331 and a curved edge 311; the curved edge 331 is connected to the first side E33 of the first pad 208 and the curved edge 333 of the conductive line 234. A curve direction CD1 of the curved edge 331 of the first pad 208 is different from a curve direction CD2 of the curved edge 333 of the first side 2341 of the conductive line 234. In some embodiments, the curve direction CD1 of the curved edge 331 of the first pad 208 may be substantially opposite to the curve direction CD2 of the curved edge 333 of the first side 2341 of the conductive line 234, but not limited thereto. The curved edge 331 and the curved edge 333 may be connected to the connection point P1.

Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the curved edge 311 is connected to the first side E31 of the first pad 208 and the curved edge 313 of the conductive line 234. A curve direction CD3 of the curved edge 311 of the first pad 208 is different from a curve direction CD4 of the curved edge 313 of the second side 2343 of the conductive line 234. In some embodiments, the curve direction CD3 of the curved edge 311 may be substantially opposite to the curve direction CD4 of the curved edge 313, but not limited thereto. The curved edge 311 and the curved edge 313 may be connected to the connection point P2.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, an extension line EL34 may be parallel to the extension line EL32 and pass through the connection point P1, or the extension line EL34 may be parallel to the extension line EL32 and pass through the connection point P2, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the connection point P1 and the connection point P2 may not be present on the same horizontal line along the Y direction; that is, a line connecting the connection point P1 and the connection point P2 may not be parallel to the extension line EL32. In this manner, the extension line passing through the connection point P1 may be different from the extension line passing through the connection point P2, but not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, the curved edge 331 may substantially be one of the curved corners (such as a fourth curved corner 3363) of the first pad 208, and the curved edge 311 may substantially be another one of the curved corners (such as a fourth curved corner 3361) of the first pad 208.

As shown in FIG. 9 (an enlarged schematic diagram of an area R5 of FIG. 7), a third curved corner 3360 may be defined by a curved edge formed between the first side E31 and the second side E32 that is not overlapped with the extension line EL31 and the extension line EL32, wherein the third curved corner 3360 may connect the first side E31 and the second side E32. As shown in FIG. 10 (an enlarged schematic diagram of an area R6 of FIG. 7), a fourth curved corner 3363 may be defined by a curved edge 331 formed between the first side E33 and the connection point P1 that is not overlapped with the extension line EL33 and the extension line EL34. Furthermore, the third curved corner 3362 and the fourth curved corner 3361 of FIG. 7 are defined in a similar manner as described in the first embodiment; for the sake of clarity, the definitions will not be repeated.

Please refer to FIG. 11, in some embodiments, an end of the first pad 208 may be connected to the conductive line 234 (such as the conductive line adjacent to the operating region R1), and another end of the first pad 208 may be connected to another conductive line 234 (such as the conductive line away from the operating region R1). As an example, the conductive line 234 (the conductive line adjacent to the operating region R1) may include a data line, a read line or a scan line. The conductive line 234 (the conductive line away from the operating region R1) may connect to testing circuits (not shown) or other elements and devices disposed in the peripheral region R2, but not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, an area of the second conductive structure 214 of the first pad 208 may be greater than an area of the first conductive structure 212 of the first pad 208, but not limited thereto. Remaining features of the present embodiment may be identical to those of the first embodiment and will not be described.

As shown in the aforementioned first embodiment to the third embodiment, the shape of the first pad and/or the shape of the second pad may for example be a rectangle with curved corners, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments (not shown), the shape of the first pad and/or the shape of the second pad may be a circle, an ellipse or any other shapes with curved or arc edges, but not limited thereto.

In summary, the first pad or the second pad of the electronic device of the present disclosure has a plurality of curved corners that may reduce damages to the first pad or the second pad caused by electrostatic discharges. By designing a distance between the first curved corner and the third curved corner (that is, the first distance) to be greater than a distance between the second curved corner and the fourth curved corner (that is, the second distance), effects of static charges between the second pad and the first pad may be mitigated.
